Founded in 1965, the North Toronto MOMS Group is a non-profit organization that offers socializing activities for Toronto area mothers. We welcome all mothers and mothers-to-be -- stay-at-home moms, women on maternity leave and moms who work full-, part- and flexible-time.

Enter the north doors off Ridley Blvd. Go up the stairs, through the doors, turn right and enjoy!

Time? 9:00 to 11:00 AM (speaker starts at 9:45)

As a first time mom on mat leave, I so appreciate the chance to get out of the house, meet likeminded women, learn something new every week, and enjoy snacks and coffee in a very relaxed environment. Meanwhile, my daughter seems very happy with the childcare, so it’s an enjoyable morning out for us both. The social events hosted by the group are also a lot of fun and help me to feel more at home in my North Toronto neighbourhood.

— Stephanie, 31, mom of a five-month-old

My children are wonderful, lovely, entertaining little beings but there is only so much truck-playing and baby talk I can handle. That’s why I love North Toronto MOMS. It means every Tuesday I get a few child-free hours with great, like-minded women. We get to listen to relevant, engaging speakers and share our child-rearing stories - both good and bad - meaning I leave each session with ideas, inspiration and the knowledge that what’s happening with my kids is completely normal!

— Melanie, mom of two boys

It is so nice to get out of the house Tuesday mornings and have someone else look after my kids while I get a chance to talk over coffee with other moms!

— Janice S, stay-at-home mom of two young children

As a second-time mom on mat leave, I really enjoy the weekly get-togethers with the other moms. The group is relaxed and inviting, and there is always a great tip to pick up, a tried-and-true recipe to use, or an understanding ear should I need one. The speaker series is outstanding — informative, entertaining, and highly customized to cover our burning questions!

— Jackie, mom of a 3-year-old and a 5-month-old

I have really enjoyed being a part of North Toronto MOMS for the last year and a half. Being new to the area, the group has given me a chance to connect with local moms and also helped me get situated in my neighborhood. I have learned a lot from the guest speakers and group discussions at the Tuesday morning meetings and have enjoyed the playgroups, evening socials and book club. I also have found that the moms in the group are a tremendous resource — I have gotten tips about registering for local kids programs, restaurant recommendations and much more. North Toronto MOMS is a terrific group! 
